3rd Time - Comments Disabled Without Reason

Printer-friendly version

Author: 

When I posted Julie O's latest earlier today, using the Fiction entry, I did not check any boxes (and do not remember even seeing any) to deliberately disable comments. Julie *wants* comments.

Yet, this is the third consecutive story I posted where comments were disabled without my doing anything. Something is definately wrong here.

Erin, can you please help again?

Comments now on for Julie's latest

Erin is a bit under the weather again. I've turned comments on both for Julie's story and your blog post.

We're still trying to figure out what's happening. I can assure you it isn't intentional. It may be a bug somewhere in the system since there are a couple of other posters that have the same problem.

Related to account type?

Erin/Bob A,

I've had the same sort of problem as Amelia. I notice, however, that Amanda's Acidalia posting, and Missy's 'Boy named Sioux' seemed to be properly comment-enabled.

I think both Amelia and I have the same type account, so could the problem be related directly to that?

Just a suggestion.

For what it is worth

I do some postings here, the latest of my Whateley Fan Fic -- Timeout -- was posted a week ago and comments are always on, not that I ever turned them off or tried to.

Hope it helps.

Could Itinerant or Amelia have accidently clicked the wrong box once and the site "remembers" their" wanting " comments turned off? For a while BC came up in the wrong font size and all I could figure out was I had altered the font size reading a document off line in IE 6.0. It got better -- I hope Erin does too.

Some times there is a glitch related to a handful of accounts where the comment flag gets set to off. I still haven't figurd it out but it mostly happens to people who I've given editor privileges to. There's no good reason for it, it just seems to happen and not all the time.
